00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:07.480
This drill is anti-overset with the hanger.

3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:09.520
So we're gonna use a hanger to help

4
00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:12.160
heighten the awareness of what's going on with our wrist.

5
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.500
This is designed for golfers who tend to really

6
00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:17.560
over set the wrist.

7
00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:19.520
Maybe they practiced with a swing guide

8
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:21.800
or they had the classic thought of trying

9
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.880
to maximally hinge this up as much as possible.

10
00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:29.120
But the problem is if I over set the wrist

11
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.600
and get it as maximally hinged as I can here,

12
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.640
then what'll typically happen is one of the first things

13
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.560
to fire will then be the wrist in transition.

14
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.040
So I get more of this arm-dominant vertical

15
00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:43.760
kind of casting pattern that causes me

16
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:45.720
to have to stand up away from the ground

17
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:47.280
so I can start this little cascade

18
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.080
that causes a lot of contact problems.

19
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:53.280
So what we're gonna do here is we're going to hold a hanger.

20
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.480
You can either use something like the actual golf hanger

21
00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:59.600
or just a simple hanger you would get at target or Walmart.

22
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.080
And now what we're gonna do is as we bring the club back,

23
00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:08.680
as I hinge my wrist, I will feel the hanger slide

24
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.560
on the wrist so I can feel it changing position

25
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.400
as I bring it up vertically like this.

26
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.920
So what we're gonna do is we're going to

27
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.760
preset a little bit there and then we're gonna concentrate

28
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.880
on not letting the hanger come up like this.

29
00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:25.400
We're gonna try to keep it the same

30
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.520
and let the wrist set more by going into extension

31
00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:32.320
of the trail wrist rather than hinging

32
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:35.040
or radial deviation of the lead wrist.

33
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.680
So got the hanger connected there, keeping it about the same

34
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.680
and I'm gonna practice kind of keeping it the same

35
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.520
there through transition.

36
00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:45.280
I can have a little bit of play this way

37
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.440
but I don't wanna have very much movement that way.

38
00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:51.520
Now, depending on the thickness of the hanger,

39
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.560
you can actually hit balls working on this.

40
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.960
And because it's more of a transition thing,

41
00:01:56.960 --> 00:01:58.680
I probably wouldn't really do nine to threes.

42
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.440
I probably start at 10 to twos

43
00:02:00.440 --> 00:02:04.080
and work from 10 to twos to full swings.

44
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:09.080
So I'm gonna hold the hanger underneath just like so.

45
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.200
And then I'm going to bring the club up

46
00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:17.360
and I'm just gonna pay attention to where that set is there

47
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.600
at what it feels like at about 90 degrees.

48
00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:23.240
And now I'm gonna try and feel like I end the backswing

49
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.720
more with hip and body movement

50
00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:30.080
as opposed to really overloading the wrist.

51
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.560
Typically, this becomes a timing issue for a lot of golfers

52
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.320
because they tend to really overload the wrist

53
00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:38.680
as the last segment that gets loaded.

54
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.960
And that starts this whole cascade of,

55
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.720
it's gotten overloaded and now I have to let it out pretty quickly.

56
00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:48.000
Okay, so I'm gonna bring it up to about my 10 o'clock position

57
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.960
and now I'm just gonna freeze the wrist in that position

58
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.480
as I finish the rest of the swing.

59
00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:55.680
So I'm gonna bring it up,

60
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.280
wrist isn't allowed to set anymore.

61
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.240
Now I'm getting the rest of the set

62
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.360
more from a little body movement.

63
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.400
This will help me feel ending the backswing

64
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.200
with my body instead of ending the backswing with my wrist.

65
00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:09.760
I can also do this in a little shorter version

66
00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:12.640
where I'm gonna bring it back, just gonna preset it there.

67
00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:15.320
And now I'm gonna do more of a 10 to two.

68
00:03:15.320 --> 00:03:19.320
So I'm gonna bring it up and just release it there.

69
00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:22.280
Now in that version, I'm not really gonna feel anything

70
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.560
on maximum waist stretch at the top of the swing.

71
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.160
When I'm doing more from the 10 to two all the way up

72
00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:29.120
to the full swing, I'll tend to feel the stretch

73
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.600
or the trigger for the ending of the swing

74
00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:33.160
more in my hips and core.

75
00:03:33.160 --> 00:03:35.600
So if you look at face on video

76
00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:39.120
and you have a really oftentimes an overswing,

77
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.520
but if you have a lot of wrist set kind of like this,

78
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.960
it's typically coming from overdoing this motion

79
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.160
and not enough of this motion,

80
00:03:49.160 --> 00:03:50.920
using a hanger can help heighten your awareness

81
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:52.480
and help you change that pattern.

82
00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:55.060
